Thank you!
2
What are you eating?
3
Oh my god, that's flamboyant flowers!
4
Yeah, it's a flamboyant flower, Vy.
5
Because today we're going on a food tour.
6
Hey, that's great.
7
So can you guess where we are now?
8
We're in Haifal.
9
That's right, Haifal.
10
We're a really beautiful city with so much good food.
11
Let's do it.
12
Let's do it.
13
I'm excited.
14
So I've been talking to Destin about this dish, bánh đá quà.
15
Every time I think about it,
16
it just makes my mouth water.
17
I love it so much.
18
So Vy just mentioned the phrase, makes her mouth water.
19
If something makes her mouth water,
20
it means you like it.
21
It's delicious.
22
I'm going to try this,
23
because today we're going to be eating a lot of food,
24
and I know that Vy wants to just eat her heart out.
25
So eat your heart out,
26
you know, enjoy everything, potentially eat a lot.
27
For me, on the other hand,
28
I'm just, I'm down to try everything.
29
So, what is this called in Tinh Vy?
30
This is a banana.
31
So, it's like a crab.
32
Okay.
33
So, we have some vegetables here.
34
Ground pork.
35
Okay.
36
Dry onions.
37
Hold on.
38
Shrimp.
39
It just splashed in my face.
40
What's that?
41
The water, the juice, the broth.
42
And the broth.
43
But first up, I have to use some kumquat.
44
You have to or is it optional?
45
It's optional but I like it.
46
Okay, I just...
47
I don't really care.
48
I just want to try it.
49
This kumquat just goes so well with everything with broth.
50
It's good?
51
It's not bad.
52
I've had it before.
53
In Ho Chi Minh?
54
Yeah, it's not bad.
55
Do you often say delicious?
56
I rarely see Justin say delicious.
57
I'm curious about it.
58
V just asked me if foreigners often use the word delicious.
59
For myself, I don't really say delicious very often.
60
I would just say it's good.
61
It's really good.
62
It's great.
63
Maybe it's not very good.
64
I'd use the word it's fine or it's okay.
65
But using the word delicious, not too often.
66
So I'm gonna eat a little bit because today we're gonna be trying a lot of food.
67
Eat your heart out.
68
We're not talking about like eating your art because that's kind of a problem and you might die.
69
We don't want that to happen.
70
But in the context today,
71
so when I was speaking with Vy,
72
I told her to eat her heart out.
73
And I just was referring to just do as you please,
74
enjoy it as much as you want,
75
and it's okay just to splurge and pig out and eat as much of everything you'd like.
76
For example, my mom just flew to Vietnam and I'm
77
so excited because I want to take her around to try different Vietnamese food.
78
I was like, mom, today I want you to eat your heart out and enjoy everything because it's good.
79
Ta-da!
80
So we're gonna have bánh mi quê.
81
Or they say bánh mì cái is kind of a speciality in Hải Phong.
82
Really, really special.
83
But I haven't had this yet in Vietnam.
84
It's like a tiny little sandwich.
85
But in the US, yeah,
86
we have breadsticks that look similar to this, but it's for dipping.
87
Dipping side of this, we have pâté.
88
Pâté?
89
Yeah.
90
Pâté is a French word,
91
but we just say pâté, so that's fine.
92
Yeah, pâté, pâté, that's fine.
93
Okay, so we got some chili sauce?
94
Yeah, chili sauce.
95
Mm, it's really crispy.
96
Yeah.
97
For me, it's okay.
98
Finger lickin' good.
99
You think it's finger lickin' good?
100
You really think so?
101
All right, V just mentioned finger lickin' good,
102
which I don't really agree with her,
103
but it originated from KFC,
104
but oftentimes when you're eating fried chicken or something with grease,
105
it's so good, you wanna lick your fingers.
106
So, in this context, maybe it's not fully accurate because you're not really licking your fingers,
107
it's not greasy, but I'll give it to her.
108
All right, V, what is this?
109
I just see if we got some green boogers.
110
Justin, you made me lose my appetite.
111
You lost your appetite because I said you have green boogers?
112
Yes, I lost my appetite.
113
Are these green boogers?
114
Okay, so what is it?
115
So we call this chae zoon.
116
Chae yung.
117
So you made me zoon as worm.
118
So we got some green worms,
119
coconut jelly, and then is this kind of the juice,
120
the liquid, is that coconut based?
121
Yeah, I think so too.
122
Yeah, it tastes like it.
123
Okay.
124
Yeah, I like coconut stuff like this and the jellies.
125
I like the texture.
126
You like the texture of jelly?
127
Yeah.
128
What's going on, you guys? guys we're gonna be doing a little bit more exploring.
129
Hold on I just had a brain fart.
130
Cat B right?
131
Cat B market.
132
Cat B market.
133
Brain fart you can't remember
134
but we're gonna do some exploring we're gonna be checking out some of the local cuisine which I'm very excited about.
135
V?
136
Yeah this market is really famous for good food and it's afternoon
137
so we are a bit hungry and I want to get some munchies.
138
Yeah if somebody has the munchies they want some snacks they want to kind of pig out on different things.
139
But we're gonna find out,
140
so come with us, you guys.
141
I'm trying to think, but I'm not quite sure.
142
But this, okay, so street food,
143
this is banh, banh, right,
144
banh, banh, banh, banh, banh,
145
banh, banh, banh, yeah, yeah,
146
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
147
Oh, here.
148
Because we need to try this one, right?
149
Yeah.
150
Gathan stew chicken.
151
Alright, take a seat.
152
I'm too big.
153
I'm powerful.
154
Okay.
155
So this is...
156
I forgot.
157
Gathan.
158
It's like a stew chicken.
159
Okay.
160
And plus, I'm not a fussy eater,
161
so I can eat almost everything everywhere.
162
Really?
163
Yeah.
164
Really, Vy?
165
Yeah.
166
If somebody is a fussy eater,
167
they don't want to eat too much.
168
But I would...
169
Sometimes you're a little picky.
170
Again, picky is somebody who doesn't want to eat too much.
171
Fussy and picky, kind of similar.
172
They're very choosy about their food.
173
I don't know.
174
I think that you guys say...
175
Zaynoy, zaynoy.
176
I get that a lot.
177
People call me zaynoy.
178
Yeah, me too.
179
What is it in English like?
180
Easy to please?
181
Easy to please?
182
Is there any word?
183
I don't know.
184
I just know how to say like I'm not a fussy eater.
185
Yeah, I'm not picky.
186
I'm not fussy.
187
I don't know.
188
Like for me, I'm down to try whatever.
189
So, I'm not going to try whatever.
190
Okay, do you know the herbs?
191
Yeah.
192
English?
193
I'm not hungry.
194
Yeah, come on.
195
Oh, I like this bowl.
196
But mine is the thigh.
197
Me, is the thigh as well?
198
No, I think that's the wing.
199
No, it's the thigh.
200
Whatever, it's the same, it's okay.
201
You have a wink.
202
You serious?
203
Yeah.
204
Can you give me this one?
205
Bon appetit!
206
Okay.
207
Now try it.
208
Can I use my hands?
209
Okay.
210
Come on.
211
When you're eating this, you guys,
212
it just falls off the bone.
213
It almost melts in your mouth.
214
Something like melts in your mouth.
215
You have the literal meaning, it melts.
216
butter, it's tender, it's nice.
217
Fussy eater and picky.
218
These two are quite similar.
219
So if somebody is a fussy eater or picky,
220
they're very particular with the food that they eat
221
and they don't often want to try new things
222
and they only want to eat things that they're used to eating and they're very comfortable with.
223
For example, when I travel with V,
224
she is a very picky eater.
225
She's very fussy because she doesn't want to eat anything
226
and we have to bring all the food with us just to make sure she's comfortable.
227
Not really, she's okay, but just an example.
228
Go ahead, V.
229
Justin!
230
Yeah?
231
I'm really happy that you agreed to eat more with me.
232
I'm really hungry, so I really want to eat more.
233
I'm kind of full V but that's fine.
234
All right, what is this?
235
What is this?
236
This is a pig's ear.
237
It's like pork over there.
238
This is a pig's ear.
239
It's like cartilage.
240
Cartilage.
241
Cartilage, yeah, cartilage of a pig.
242
I think all of it is cartilage.
243
Like your ear is cartilage,
244
you have cartilage all over your body.
245
One of these and one of these are all.
246
So you do that, I'm gonna eat it like this.
247
It's not a proper way.
248
Because it's a little chewy.
249
Because the texture of this,
250
it's quite different from other meat,
251
because when you bite it,
252
you have to chew it and it has a slight crunch to it.
253
If you're cooking it in a soup,
254
it might be even slimy depending,
255
but I wouldn't want but I wouldn't want to use the word slimy
256
because you'd think of maybe something that's rotten or old,
257
but V's waiting for me.
258
What?
259
Here's.
260
Dallin.
261
That's it?
262
Mm-hmm.
263
That's it.
264
That's really small.
265
I like tiny, tiny, small things.
266
Try it.
267
Is it good or not?
268
It's good?
269
It's a little bit better.
270
Better with the rice paper?
271
Yep.
272
A little bit.
273
It's a little bit yeah.
274
A little bit better.
275
Yeah.
276
So guys, we finished up everything and we're going to buy some for the road.
277
So if you want to get some takeaway,
278
it's buy some for the road.
279
Is that correct?
280
Yeah, so we're going to buy some for the road.
281
So we're going to eat it later.
282
Hey guys, we are really full now.
283
Yeah, because we've been eating a lot and food was really really good.
284
I liked it so much.
285
But now we're gonna go for a walk because I want to burn some calories because I'm getting baio.
286
Get a little stomach, mooy.
287
So we're gonna go for a walk, move around.

We can feed an entire family of 25 people.

309
All right.
310
It's this one.
311

312
So this is dried shredded pork.
313
And what is underneath this?
314
It's an egg and dried onions.
315
This is a good dish.
316
And I don't know what in the English language is.

Do you know what it is?
318

Do I look more beautiful either, V?
346
Yeah, definitely.

Yeah, but it's...

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
